LUA difficult? I protest. Even the worst coder on this forum can easily integrate his framework with Lua. Lua's only drawback is that it's a structural language. In other words, it's not object oriented. That's why I'd advise you to take a look at GameMonkey ( http://www.somedude.net/gamemonkey/ ), as well as those useful articles on GameDev:

I don't think that you can convert a complete string into a single character, maybe try irr:stringc

AndyCR · Post by **AndyCR** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 11:00 pm

to get a single character from a string:

string[characternumber]

returns the c8 character of number characternumber from the irr::core::string<c8> string.

to convert it to a c8 pointer:

(c8*)string.c_str()

(untested, but should work)

to convert it to a char pointer:

(char*)string.c_str()

(same warning applies)
